Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, Vol. 1 (of 2)
·
Dorothy Wordsworth
188
Wednesday,
August
17th.--Left
Longtown
after
breakfast.
About
half
a
mile
from
the
town
a
guidepost
and
two
roads,
to
Edinburgh
and
Glasgow;
we
took
the
left-hand
road,
to
Glasgow.
Here
saw
a
specimen
of
the
luxuriance
of
the
heath-plant,
as
it
grows
in
Scotland;
it
was
in
the
enclosed
plantations--perhaps
sheltered
by
them.
These
plantations
appeared
to
be
not
well
grown
for
their
age;
the
trees
were
stunted.
Afterwards
the
road,
treeless,
over
a
peat-moss
common--the
Solway
Moss;
here
and
there
an
earth-built
hut
with
its
peat
stack,
a
scanty
growing
willow
hedge
round
the
kail-garth,
perhaps
the
cow
pasturing
near,--a
little
lass
watching
it,--the
dreary
waste
cheered
by
the
endless
singing
of
larks.
